[Geoserver-devel] Dropping GML2-GZIP?

GeoServer GeoServer Developer

Hi,
I was having a look at this bug report http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-5530
and I’m wondering if we should just drop that output format.

Rationale: the output format is super-old, and was created before we had the
filter to automatically GZIP all text-like files in the proper HTTP way, that gets
transparently recognized by browsers.

Nowadays I don’t see a reason for having such format, if the client declares
to support GZIP compression we just do that transparently.

So… let’s just drop it?

Cheers
Andrea

+1 - definitely should just offer the proper http way, instead of having two options.
